28 April - wilderness achievements & 10 year anniversary!
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 8:07 pm
First of all, I am glad to announce the coming of a double XP event from 25 to 28 May, starting in:
Ending in:
The reason why, you'll find at the bottom of this news post! Although the title of this post probably already gave that away.
But first, let's talk about something everyone has been looking forward to for a very long time now. It's been over a year since we first announced we'd get rid of the 500 killcount requirement for the completionist cape - today, that promise is finally becoming a reality! At last, we have our very own Wilderness achievement diary!
There are 2 parts to the achievement diary. There is a set of PvM/skilling tasks and there is a set of PvP tasks. Ironman Mode players do not have the PvP tasks - instead, they need to do twice the amount of each PvM task.
Everyone who had a completionist cape will be unable to equip it until they have completed the wilderness achievement diary. In the meantime, you can obtain a free replacement max cape from the cape rack in your Player-Owned House costume room. Once you have completed the diary, you can reclaim your completionist cape for free by trading in your max cape at the cape rack again.
Those with player kills already have a portion of their PvP tasks completed, up to 2/3rd of each task if you have 500 kills (1/3rd of each task if you have 250 kills etc.). Ironman Mode players with player kills have a portion of their PvM tasks completed already, up to 1/3rd of each task if you have 500 kills (1/6th of each task if you have 250 kills etc.).
Players who already obtained certain rare item drops, a boss pet or boss kills in the past also have the appropriate amount of tasks completed already (based on our NPC drop logs and PoH bookcase boss kills). For the tasks that we didn't track yet (such as boss slayer tasks or clue steps), everyone has to start at 0.

Other improvements & bugfixes in today's update:
I am also glad to announce that in May, we are celebrating PkHonor's 10 year anniversary! My work on the server may have only started in November 2009, but by then the server was already one and a half years old, as it was initially released by Sami, our founder, who first launched this server in May 2008!
During the entire month of May, there will be 10% discount on all Donator Store items. Since it's also been over 5 years since we last added anything to our donator store (not including the coins and tickets we added a few months ago), we decided it was time to change that up a bit.
On 1 May, we will be adding the Frozen whip mix and Volcanic whip mix as permanent additions to the donator store to allow players to colour their abyssal whips, along with the Gilded armour set and Rogue set. These are all purely cosmetic and offer no added bonuses (gilded has the stats of rune armour). As of now, you may also expect a few extra items into the donator store from time to time.
The iconic Bag of grain will also be on sale in the donator store for just 1 week, starting on 1 May. After that one week, we will do an evaluation and may choose to sell it for another week (possibly 2) if too few are sold (we want it to be rare, but not too rare). After the sale is ended, the Bag of grain will not be sold again for at least another 6 months.
Furthermore, each weekend in May, there will be a major weekend event, as follows:
A wilderness event, with:
Ending in:
A double pet drop event, starting in:
Ending in:
A God Wars dungeon event, with free entrance to every single boss room including the Nex room (Nex requiring completion of The Last Journey quest), 20% higher droprates and double pet droprates on all GWD monsters, starting in:
Ending in:
And of course, last but not least, a double XP event from 25 to 28 May, as announced in the beginning of this post.
At some point during the month, there will also be a new Titan event, which is yet to be announced.
Enjoy!

An overview of all wilderness achievement tasks:
Spoiler: show
Spoiler: show
- The 'Accept Aid' button has been added in the Settings tab, allowing you to block others from casting heal, cure, energy transfer or vengeance on you. This setting is recommended for those going for the 'kill all wilderness bosses in 1 trip' achievement, because the achievement will fail if another player casts one of these lunar spells on you
- The droprate of artifacts on Bounty Hunter target kills has been significantly increased (as in more than doubled). This also means the 50% bonus artifact droprates for players ranked #4 or higher on the PK leaderboard now makes a much bigger difference than before
- You can now simply walk across the wilderness ditch, rather than having to jump over it
- Killing a WildyWyrm while on a slayer task now grants 50 Slayer Points instead of 5
- The WildyWyrm clue scroll now also displays when a wyrm is about to spawn and how long it will take before it spawns
- Wearing a perfect ring while killing players in the wilderness now has a 10% chance to grant double PkHonor Points (only from the kills itself, not from looted items that give PKP)
- The droprates of god staffs and capes from the battle mages at the Mage Bank have been significantly increased
- Applying poison through melee now makes the poison damage count towards your damage done to said player (this mechanic is most likely not the way it's done in OSRS, but we still feel like it's the right thing to do)
- The teleport spells in your spellbook will now turn gray when you are in combat and don't have enough runes to teleport away. Also fixed a minor visual bug with the shown rune amounts
- The 'monsters' teleport spell in your spellbook now has a new icon to make it distinguishable from the minigames teleport. This way, each teleport spell now has its own icon
- The 'logout' button now shows a countdown timer when you are in combat
- Fixed a bug where killing Vet'ions first form would be counted in your PoH bookcase
- Fixed a bug where not all frost dragon kills were counted in your PoH bookcase
